Chapter 320 Prologue
Sure enough, that night, "Farewell" and "Blue and White Porcelain" landed on the first and second places on the music chart.
These two songs can also be seen on the hot searches.
Iron Man has once again proved that I have the final say in the music world!
As soon as the clock struck midnight, the Spring Festival movie season officially began.
Among them are the two most anticipated films before, Feng Wang's "Heaven" and Wu Kong's "Kung Fu", which have similar screening volumes.
The former is 32% and the latter is 28%.
Other films have basically no chance of competing in terms of appeal and cast, and the number of screenings is less than 10.
Movie lovers, industry insiders and many audiences in Daxia chose "Paradise" as the first choice.
Among them is Wang Yiwei, a film critic from Doudou.com.
As a professional film critic, he has tasks to do during every festival.
Although he wrote 12 film reviews for "Infernal Affairs", he still gave the movie a full score of 10.
But when it comes to comedy, you should first look at Feng Wang's works.
As soon as he entered the cinema, he found that the two sides were evenly matched.
Judging from the online ticket sales, the attendance rate is around 50 to 60 percent.
Tonight won’t be particularly good, as most people will still be watching the Spring Festival Gala.
Tomorrow, the first day of the Lunar New Year, will be the hottest time for the film market.
So 60% is already very good. If it is tomorrow night, this data will probably rise by at least 10 points.
When he came in, he sat on the side of the front row, which meant that many good seats had been sold out before he bought his ticket.
It seems that many viewers are still looking forward to it.
Judging from the demographics, many viewers of "Paradise" include young people to middle-aged people.
It is estimated that Feng Wang has accumulated a lot of fans from his first seven movies, and coupled with his fame, teenagers will also come to watch it.
The movie officially begins.
The style inherits Feng Wang's traditional black humor, and through twists and turns of stories and coincidences, it satirizes human emotions and the current society, as well as the relationships between people and marriage.
There was constant laughter at the scene, and many of the jokes may require some thought and aftertaste, with a bit of bitterness behind them.
Therefore, Feng Wang's films are full of Daxia genes, and many of them can only be appreciated when placed in the social environment of Daxia.
But even so, he still won awards at international film festivals, which is why he has his current status and appeal.
This is nothing like Hollywood comedies.
His comedy is unique and has its own style.
It also takes the new generation of audiences into consideration and intersperses many online jokes to satirize the real society.
The audience also caught on and laughed uncontrollably.
He was already looking forward to it. The eighth part was already like this, so what would the final work be like?
The movie ended at 2 a.m., and a kung fu show next door had just ended.
Wan Yiwei was recalling the plot of "Paradise" and when he was leaving, he heard crazy screams and applause, which attracted everyone's attention.
His actors are all top stars in the film industry. Many movie stars have been working in the film market for more than ten years and are still vying to star in his films.
Moreover, this person has already accumulated a lot of fans and followers, and "Paradise" is simply adding wings to his tiger.
Wan Yiwei was so excited after watching the movie that he could write a lot of film reviews when he got back.
Whether it is the comedy itself, the director's continuation and creation of his own style, or the many social issues explored in it, there is a lot to write about.
He believes that Feng Wang has been making progress and challenging himself, and that this eighth part has made a qualitative leap.
I was planning to go home and have a good sleep, but after getting up, I gave the movie review to the person who wrote it first, and suddenly I felt energetic.
Then he saw a lot of people rushing out of the theater next door and excitedly asking at the ticket booth:
"Are there any tickets for 'Kung Fu' tomorrow?"
"Hold on a minute, it looks like tomorrow's only show is in the early morning, and it's this one, too. There are only two seats left in the first row, by the side."
"Ah~ I still have to stay up late?!"
He hesitated for a moment. The time was not good and the seat was not good either.
But it seems that all other sessions are full.
"Aren't there any other sessions?"
"Tomorrow is the first day of the new year. I think the seats will be full. There are a few more shows the day after tomorrow morning, but there aren't many seats left. Would you like me to reserve one for you?"
"Boss, he doesn't want me, but I do!"
The person behind him listened to him hesitating for a long time and then spoke directly.
"No, no, no, I want it!"
Wan Yiwei was stunned. He had seen this guy run out of the theater of "Kung Fu Hustle". Is it really that exciting? He's already watching it again?!
And it seems there are quite a few people!
That means the quality of "Kung Fu" is online!
Damn, what kind of movie is this? It makes him feel very nervous.
What if Wei suddenly cheers up? No, I still have to buy tickets and watch "Kung Fu" quickly.
But when he went online, he saw that the earliest would be the second day of the Lunar New Year, and by the time he cast his vote, the second day's votes were gone.
He was shocked and excited.
I originally thought that "Heaven" would be a crushing victory, or at least it would be leading by a large margin, but now it seems that "Kung Fu Hustle" is not bad either.
Without hesitation, he bought a ticket for the noontime session on the third day of the Lunar New Year.
The Spring Festival period is the hottest time of the year for the film market.
Basically, even the worst movies can have an attendance rate as high as 70%.
This is why the whole of China has a love-hate relationship with the Spring Festival period.
Because there are so many people going to see movies at this time, the box office will reach an unprecedented height.
The reason for hatred is that with so many people coming to see the movie, it will be very obvious whether the quality of your movie and the story can stand the test of the audience.
As the saying goes, when the tide goes out you see who is swimming naked.
If you are given such a large amount of traffic but still don't perform well, then the next day you will be flooded with bad reviews and the words "bad movie" will be engraved on the director's forehead.
And the general public will know that XXX released a super bad movie during the Chinese New Year!
Then it will be difficult to turn around later...
Even if it rots, it will rot completely.
Generally, directors who are not confident in their works rarely choose to challenge the Spring Festival period.
/：.
Of course, there's also the possibility of completely giving up. I'm not going to be able to put it anywhere else throughout the year. So, I might as well just put it aside for Spring Festival, make a quick buck, and then quit.
But there is also a problem with this situation, which is that you have to see whether the cinema will accept it.
Cinemas pay the most attention to this time, so they will definitely be selective about the films they release.
On the second day, the data of the first midnight premiere came out.
"Paradise" box office at midnight reached 8 million!
Wow, everyone exclaimed in surprise!
This is an unprecedented figure! The previous highest was 6 million, and this was before the Spring Festival Gala ended on New Year's Eve!
Director Feng, you’re still as good as ever!
If there are 10 shows on average, that's 80 million. If there are 20 shows, that's 160 million. Wouldn't that break the record of "Infernal Affairs"?!
This situation is not impossible during the Chinese New Year!
Watch "Kung Fu" again, damn, 7.2 million!
Wan Yiwei's eyes widened. This...
Isn't the gap a little too small...
Now he can't wait and must watch "Kung Fu" first.
So he found a scalper, added 200 yuan to the price, and got a ticket for the next night.
I walked into the cinema and went to my seat.
Although my heart was bleeding, it was a good money spent. The timing was good and the seat was in the middle and back, commonly known as the golden viewing seat.
At this time, the attendance rate has obviously increased.
This show was at a good time and the seats were full.
He heard whispers around him.
"I heard from friends that it's really good-looking and very funny!"
"Then I'll have to look forward to it!"
"It is said to be the work of the director of 'Infernal Affairs'!"
"Oh, that's why I had to rely on robbing. My classmate came last night, no, it was early this morning. He told me that I laughed at him and my stomach hurt!"
"Hey, it's starting."
